A GameFAQs poster writes on the site s forums that he received a booklet called Microsoft s Keynote of Intent for 2005. (It appears he may have received this document because he is a Microsoft shareholder) In the book, Microsoft allegedly goes over some very specific 360 launch numbers. The document also lists both Walmart and Best Buy as the official sponsers of the console.
Here s the numbers that WWFE 1 said were in the boolet for the launch:
The final shipment of the US Consoles on the 22nd is 1,098,200. (20% of those being core systems)
Microsoft plans on selling 4 million 360's within the next 5 months worldwide.
There are currently 2,190,876 accesories being shipped on the 22nd to the US
There are currently 29 Games that will be available BEFORE the end of the 2005
There are current plans for sequels to NEW franchises that arent even out on the 360 yet.
Microsoft plan on expanding there Xbox Live user base to 14 million users by the end of the 360 lifespan.
I ll point out that if this is indeed something sent to shareholders it s largely going to be predictions of what they want to do, not what will happen. Microsoft's annual shareholder meeting was this morning, so hopefully some more official word will trickle out soon.
